Combining abstract, textural collages of sound with unconventional arrangements and crisp, dancefloor-ready breakbeats, ‘Clarence Park’ first set forth the framework that Clark would go on to break down and rebuild into astounding new shapes with each subsequent record.

This reissue also includes the rare ‘Throttle Clarence’ EP and previously-unheard recordings from the ‘Clarence Park’ sessions, providing new listeners and longtime fans alike with a fresh glimpse into the development of one of Warp’s longest-running and most beloved artists.

One of the most interesting talents to come out of the contemporary blues scene in quite some time. On Blak and Blu, most of Clark’s tunes are solidly rooted in the blues, but he’s also folded in hearty servings of hard rock, funk, retro-soul, and even a dash of hip-hop, and the way he lets the flavors mix is a big part of what makes this album work so well.

Guy Clark’s first album in four years is a wonderfully rough, tough, tender, wise, and gracefully resigned testament to a life lived, a craft followed, and regrets considered, weighed, and given due. Now 71 years old, Clark has been a world-class songwriter for decades, and as My Favorite Picture of You shows, he still is. He’s as sturdy, honest, and truthful a songwriter as you’re ever going to get.

Two giants of punk & new wave - Acclaimed poet, Dr. John Cooper Clarke and esteemed singer-songwriter Hugh Cornwell have collaborated on this new 10 track album which features classic American and British pop songs they both grew up listening to. Songs from Richie Valens, Conway Twitty, Ricky Nelson, Jimmy Webb, Lieber & Stoller, plus more... are covered here, with all singing duties by JCC ( a first!) & Cornwell playing lead guitar.

Benjamin Clementine has packed a lot into his 25 years: heartbreak, homelessness, reinvention, before reaching cult status in Paris and returning home in unlikely circumstances. Raised in Edmonton, his household was a strictly religious one, where children were barred from the living room unless it was a weekend dinner ("my parents, even though they were quite devilish, acted like Christians, and we weren’t allowed to play anything other than gospel music”). When Benjamin started to teach himself the keyboard aged 11, he stumbled upon classical radio rather than contemporary pop; a sparse piano solo by Erik Satie in particular transformed the way he played. At 16 years old, in a rare moment of permitted TV watching, he caught New York avant-gardists Antony and the Johnsons performing the disarmingly naked ‘Hope There’s Someone’ on the BBC. “I was confused, scared…it was another world,” says Clementine. “When it finished, I went back upstairs to my piano and started playing chords.”

For the last dozen years Nels has been a full-time member of the acclaimed rock band, Wilco. Appearing as a guest or feature player on 200+ albums, Nels has also led various groups of his own, most consistently the avant-garde ensemble the Nels Cline Singers. Inspired by the likes of Bill Evans, Jim Hall, Gil Evans, Johnny Mandel, and Henry Mancini among others, “I have been dreaming about, planning, and re-working my rather obsessive idea of this record for well over twenty-five years, and it was always going to be called Lovers,” says Cline. “It is meant to be as personal in its sound and in its song selection as it is universal in its endeavor to assay or map the parameters of ‘mood’ as it once pertained, and currently pertains, to the peculiar and powerful connection between sound/song and intimacy/romance. In this, I hope Lovers offers something of an update of the ‘mood music’ idea and ideal, while celebrating and challenging our iconic notion of romance.”

In place of churning riffs and wired vocals is a dream state of harpsichord, dulcimers and strings.Melody and softness combine with the band’s unique internal logic to produce a record of pop beauty.Their most beautiful & affecting music since ‘Distortions’.

A letter in triplicate addressed to the themes of love, music and Australia, Jen Cloher’s fourth album is the culmination of a period of artistic and personal growth in which the artist took her rightful place as a punk-rock figurehead of Melbourne’s famous DIY music scene. She is an outspoken advocate for artist rights and co-founder of the incredible Milk! Records label, which includes the likes of Courtney Barnett and Fraser A. Gorman among its luminaries. Since 2014, her output has been increasingly biting, witty and poetic, with her last album, the critically lauded "In Blood Memory" representing an artistic apex for the artist and garnering her a prestigious Australian Music Prize nomination.

’Bliss Release’ is the debut album from Australian rock group Cloud Control. The band met during rehearsals for the play Pirates Of Penzance in their home town Blue Mountains, where they then went on to create their indie-rock influenced sound. Single ’There’s Nothing In The Water We Can’t Fight’ is drenched in jangly guitars and sunshine-pop melodies that is akin to the influences of recent support slots with Vampire Weekend and Supergrass. [LP out 30.5.11]

Following on from the singles compilation, ‘Turning On’, and their self-titled debut proper, Cloud Nothings return with their sophomore album, ‘Attack On Memory’.Recorded with the legendary Steve Albini, this is the first time that the four-piece live band have recorded together (previously frontman Dylan Baldi played everything) and the results are their strongest album yet - higher fidelity, a track clocking in at almost nine minutes, an instrumental, and an overall more plaintive air.
